NOTE: Our Guest House is only for those people who are scheduled to perform an event at one of SVBF facilities the next day. No exceptions.*: Since the priest who eats Shraddha food cannot perform priest services at the temple on that day, eating of Shraddha food is limited to only one priest per day and/or the cook.

The charges do not include Sambhavana to Priest and Brahmanaartha or bhokta

Charges for temple could be either $ 350 or $450 depending on the number of priest used for
the ceremony. If the priest performing the event eats, you do not ask the cook to be the bhokta.
This does not include the Sambhavana for the priests and cook.

Thought of the Day

The number of things in the world that awaken desire is infinite. If a man gets a particular thing, the mental unrest caused by the longing for that thing may cease; but it will be replaced by restlessness caused by desire for another object. This process will go on forever as there is no end to desire.Similarly, the number of things that are undesirable is also infinite. If you get rid of a particular undesirable object, no doubt you get mental peace for the moment; but the next moment you will become restless because another thing will start troubling you. This process will go on indefinitely as the things which gave us trouble in the world are countless.If, therefore, we seek to remove our mental unrest by trying to secure the things which the mind asks for or to get rid of all the things which disturb it, our search for peace will be an endless one and true everlasting peace and happiness will never be attained by us.For more quotes, click here
